Looking Away - Nonpoint

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

It doesn’t mean that it don’t happen anyway

I watch as they all look away

They don’t have the stomach for this

The image that’s burned in my brain

Won’t let me ignore my good conscience

They try to hide our suffering

Controlling lies with lies they sing

It’s right in front of me

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

The fighting inside is the reason that I stay

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

It doesn’t mean that it don’t happen anyway

The people that live in the streets

The children struggling just to eat

Our families sent overseas

And claiming it’s «necessary,» oh!

They try to hide our suffering

Controlling lies, with lies they sing

It’s right in front of me

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

The fighting inside is the reason that I stay

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

It doesn’t mean that it don’t happen anyway

Program your mind

I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna be among the sheep

I don’t wanna follow them asleep

I don’t wanna be left for dead in the street

I don’t wanna throw, I don’t wanna throw away my soul

I don’t wanna know the things they know

If it’s gonna make me into an animal

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

The fighting inside is the reason that I stay

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

It doesn’t mean that it don’t happen anyway

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

The fighting inside is the reason that I stay

I try, and I try, and I try to look away

It doesn’t mean that it don’t happen anyway

I try, and I try, and I try… (look away)

I give, and I gave up the fight (they create)

I live and I live I’m alive… (but I bleed)

I’m tired of seeing it, so I have to look away
